Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter
2 cups peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In a double boiler, melt chocolate. In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, butter, peanut butter and vanilla. Dough will be loose. Form 1-2 inch balls* from the dough, pressing together so they keep their shape. When all dough is shaped into balls, dip them into the melted chocolate with either a toothpick or fork. Set on wax or parchment paper lined cookie sheet and cool. Makes about 50. Recipe can be halved.

*For hearts, roll out a chunk of dough that has been pressed together to keep its shape and cut out with a cookie cutter.
